Swell Summary
A medium-period WNW swell will continue to support advisory level surf along exposed north and west facing shores tonight, though this swell will gradually diminish Friday and Saturday. Therefore, a High Surf Advisory (HSA) remains in effect until Friday morning. Another WNW swell will arrive Sunday and Monday, likely leading to HSA-level surf along many N and W facing shores, and may impact leeward Big Island as well. This swell may continue to build on Tuesday, pushing surf heights to High Surf Warning levels along exposed shores. This swell is expected to diminish next Wednesday and Thursday. Short-period choppy wind waves along S and W facing shores will ease as winds will be weaker through Friday, but will likely redevelop again over the weekend as SW winds increase again. East facing shores have minimal surf and a lack of wind waves throughout the forecast period.
